Bar Cava in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

A very nice place; we ate at the bar. The meals are delicious and the staff is efficient and friendly. Perfect place for 2 to 4 people to eat. The drinks selection is also extensive, with tasty cava, wines, draft beers, and cocktails. Highly recommended!

Had a really fun evening! With fantastic service. I will definitely come back here more often!

Delicious tapas and drinks. Attentive and friendly service. Excellent value for money.

Very nice place. Delicious drinks as well.

Had a super fun evening and really great service!

It was tasty. Good cocktail, the Ibiza Spritz is highly recommended!! Tasty nachos, great

Had a delicious meal. Nice and quiet inside on a Tuesday evening.

Super fun! Nice service, tasty food, 10/10. Berend is super fun!

All the food was very tasty. Some dishes did take a long time, but the atmosphere was good, so it was all worth it.

Very good Spanish food in Utrecht, the best chefs

Particularly pleasant atmosphere, both inside and out. The food was undeniably delicious and surprising. And the Cava tasted wonderful with it. Top-notch.

Very fun, good selection of tapas, large Pinchos, good vibes

Lovely atmosphere and music. Good fish and meat platters. Service is top-notch.

Yesterday, the four of us had dinner on the terrace. Everything was TOO delicious. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it :-) The service was also top-notch: friendly, fast, and helpful. We will be coming here more often!

A cozy place with a great atmosphere and friendly service. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends.

Excellent cava list and great food

prawns and entrecot were great!

My rate: 3.5/5. It's a very small tapas restaurant but serves decent food. We tried most of the dishes from the menu, the portions were fair, the prices were not crazy and the taste were fine. It was just a bit salty for me. Our favourite dishes were steak, fried fish and calamari so we ordered them twice. However, Quesadillas was oily and wet, meatballs were dry and salty, nachos with pulled chicken were boring, fried chicken was overcooked. Their sangrias were not really my taste. We tried 2 different ones but they were not what I expected. Staff was friendly and nice. It's busy but they tried their best. It's tiny restaurant so it's a bit uncomfortable to sit. It's a good place to hangout with friends. Dont forget to make a reservation in advance. Recommended!

Had a great experience! The food was delicious and the service was super good. Our bartender Pepijn was really nice and attentive. Had a great evening!

The four of us had a very enjoyable evening at Bar Cava. Excellent service, the food was good, we enjoyed the sangria deal, and the cava was tasty too. It is a nice place to sit both inside and outside. Definitely recommended!

The service was really top-notch and great. Highly recommended if you are in Utrecht.

We were here for a friends birthday so last minute and Sara was so kind to us and accommodating. She is an angel and you are so lucky to have her.

Just good staff and nice drinks and stuff, man.

I had a delicious beer here in the sun with two others. The service was very spontaneous and very polite. The croquettes from the kitchen were better than expected. Highly recommended if you are looking for a nice spot in Utrecht.

...a wonderful tapas and cocktail bar....we went there twice during our short trip to Utrecht and enjoyed all the delicious little bites...the service is very friendly and attentive...the price/performance ratio for the tapas is excellent.

Great food, especially the portobello

Very nice place and especially friendly staff!

Cozy atmosphere with nice staff. Staff make time for a chat

Excellent service, delicious food and cozy atmosphere 👌🏽

Inattentive waiters. Food didn’t arrive even after an hour, turns out they didn’t even bothered to tell us that they cancelled our order. There are better Tapas places in Utrecht than this.

Arrogant staff, too busy, no tasty sangrias

Incredible, the tapas were delicious and very good value for money.

On New Year’s Eve, I was initially denied entry to Bar CAVA in Utrecht while my Dutch friends were allowed to enter under the exact same circumstances. I was accompanied by them, and the only apparent difference was my skin colour and the fact that I did not speak Dutch. After some time, I was eventually allowed to enter. However, the initial refusal had already occurred and was humiliating and deeply upsetting. I have been a customer of this place for four years and have never experienced discrimination of this severity in the Netherlands. I am sharing this so others are aware of my experience and so the establishment reflects on how guests are treated.

I’ve never seen a better menu than this bar. Tapas varieties and sangria are very delicious. The employees are very sympathetic and friendly.

The tapas we ordered were really delicious, and besides that, I also really liked the drinks, especially the sangria. It's usually very crowded on weekends, so finding a table can be difficult, but you can usually find a seat more easily during the week.

Super nice bar and very friendly people!

Super fun tapas bar. Delicious food and excellent wine recommendations. Highly recommended!

The tapas are overpriced for what you get, but the real problem is how pushy and annoying the waiters are. They keep asking if you want a drink, even while you're still finishing yours, and they'll take away your plates while there's still food on them.

Very tasty cava and very friendly staff

Last visited: July 2024. Lovely place with good service. Dining either inside or out but can be rather cosy outside. You will see when there. Good selection and food and drinks. Pics of just a few during last visit.

A delightful neighbourhood cava bar within walking distance from where I was staying. Recommended by someone at reception at the hotel as their top local place to go for decent tapas and wine at reasonable prices . Small , but full of character. Service was excellent and tapas were very good for the price. I was there both times for Happy hour, but next time will stay for their dinner menu. Not to be missed .

With a bit of luck, I managed to snag a spot at the bar on a pleasantly busy Sunday. Great atmosphere, friendly service, a nice selection of wines, and delicious food. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal and drank fantastic cava. We also really enjoyed the 0.0 cava. The service was attentive and pleasant. My only drawback was the volume of the music (although it was a very good playlist), which made it difficult for me to hear my companions and make myself understood. But that's a personal preference. And I prefer to sit at a standard table instead of a high table, but they don't have those. Otherwise, we had a fantastic evening!

Delicious tapas! We sat outside and the service was fantastic.

The food was fine, but the overall experience was very disappointing. We were repeatedly told we could only stay until a certain time, and we had to pay ten minutes beforehand. To our dismay, we discovered a cigarette butt in the bottle of water that had been placed on the table upon arrival, and which we had already drunk. There was barely an apology, which was very disappointing.

We were walking ins for dinner and had no issues. We did a pre-set tapa selection for two and pitcher of sangria. Everything was delicious and portions were just right to have room for dessert after.

Everything was fantastic. The Sangria Cava 😍 and let's not forget the Patatas bravas and albondigas. Delicious! Great service!

I often walked past it and always got a weak feeling, now that I've been there I give it a wide berth.

Great service! And delicious limoncello

Fantastic tent with delicious sangria!

Delicious tapas. Fairly inexpensive. Very friendly staff and a beautiful building.

Fantastic bar! Very cozy, delicious tapas, and friendly staff! We had a fantastic evening there.

Enjoyed it immensely! The best nachos in all of Utrecht! Our service (a guy named Hugo) was great and very friendly! I recommend it to everyone!

Great place! Friendly service and delicious food and drinks!

That curly-headed guy was very nice.

Lekkere sangria en gratis shotje voor 5 sterren. Leuke atmosfeer, leuke bediening, waarom moet deze recensie 100 tekens zijn?

I had a lovely meal here with a friend last week. The tapas dishes were absolutely delicious! We also had great service! The music in the background and the sangria made it perfect.

The food is delicious, fresh, and tastes great, but it's a bit pricey for the large portions. A meat platter costs €20 (!) per person, and it's for two people or more. Personally, I thought the portions were a bit small. We had a good evening and a good meal. But if you're on a tight budget, don't go here.

Nice place for a bite and a cava. Nice staff. Young audience. We will come back soon.

Wow! Simply fantastic. A must-do when visiting Utrecht ;) Great service and delicious wine and food. We'd love to come back.

🍷🐾 Great wine bar in Utrecht where your dog is also welcome (outside)! 🌇💛 One of our favorite wine bars in Utrecht! We've been here quite a few times, and we've always been welcome outside on the terrace with our dog 🐶🍷 – super nice. Inside, it's usually very busy and you sit close together, so that's less than ideal (and I'm not sure if dogs are allowed there either) 🐾🚫. The first few times, the staff was always incredibly friendly and helpful 😊, although lately we've noticed a change in the faces and not everyone is as welcoming anymore. (Not rude, mind you, but it could be a bit warmer sometimes.) We also think the quality of the tapas has deteriorated a bit 🍴 – hopefully, it will return to the way it used to be, because we loved coming here for the fresh, generous appetizer platters 🧀🍇! But despite those minor drawbacks, the overall experience is still fantastic. We'd love to come back—and preferably with our dog, of course 🐾💛! 📸 Want to see more of this spot and other dog-friendly places (plus Frenkie)?

Great bar; delicious tapas! Delicious sangria! Keep up the good work!

Always pleasant, great service.

So far they have the best bravas I've eaten in The Netherlands! Great selection of cavas and wines, food was delicious, prices quite good and the waiters were all super nice. We'll be back for sure!

I would give irrational amounts of money and/or belongings for that delicious Camembert. On that note, prices were not SO irrational! Bread was breading Heineken was heinekening

Great tent, what an atmosphere!

Top service and friendly people! Really recommended

We sat there wonderfully, the food was very good and we were well looked after.

Super nice Spanish place in Utrecht! Friendly staff, nice sangria and good atmosphere experience.

Great food, great service. The sangria was also very tasty!

The perfect place in Utrecht for lunch! Very friendly staff, the food was there quickly, and the portions were very good in size. Recommended!

Food really good. Friendly and attentive staff.

Drinks on the terrace. Attentive and friendly service, tasty pinxtos and snacks. Good wine and friendly prices. Absolute recommendation, top!

Great food and nice atmosphere. Sangria was delicious

Really good tapas, charming waiters, good atmosphere. 10/ 10 would recommend and come again! What stood out: homemade sangria and deliciously crunchy patatas bravas! (It was really crowded though).

We went to Bar Cava on a casual Wednesday evening, it was already quite crowded at 6pm, so we could only get a spot at the bar. As the name already gives away, it’s not really a wine bar compared to some other locations in Utrecht, but for sure they have some good wines on their list! The waiters are very friendly and able to tell us a bit more about the wines and come up alternatives for wines from the list that weren’t available at that time. The seafood plateau is a real must try. We had a nice time!

Great place, delicoius food, frendly staf. We had cava plateau for two people, all great, took us some time to finish, it's a lot 🥰

Today we went in for a drink with a group of people where we were told in a friendly way that we would have to leave after 1.5 hours because of reservations. This was also the last time they would be friendly because the rest of the experience the service was hasty and short (while the place was almost empty). After the first round of drinks we had had enough of the staff and the loud music so we went to pay. Later when we looked at the receipt we saw that the 2 bottles of water that were OPENED on the table upon arrival and not touched by us were also on it for €11,-. This is simply outrageous and the reason why we will always avoid this place.

Ate here for the first time today. What a top tent, delicious food, the service was also good and what great service. Really one of the best Tapas bars in Utrecht, I would love to come back 👌🏻🇪🇸🥳

Had a delicious meal with a friend. White sangria is highly recommended. Will definitely come back again soon.

Nice tent with cute little terrace, unfortunately not in the sun in the evening. Well, heaters. Food was surprisingly good, tasty tappas, good portions! Staff was friendly and fast service. I was disappointed with the sangria, both the red and the white. Toilets had no soap, better maintained!

Great bar for a drink, after dinner or late at night. Mainly because of the cosy atmosphere and the locals who all seem to know one another. Pricing is reasonable for Utrecht city centre although I was not impressed by the €7.25 glass of cava. Free still water is available upon request.

Best restaurant ever!! Good staff and the food is delicious

Had a fantastic evening, nice drinks atmosphere and delicious tapas, thanks to Hugo

Celebrated a wonderful birthday. Hugo can really do anything, until he came along with the limoncello. What a hero

Super sweet staff, delicious food and delicious sangria!!! 🌞

We were really impressed by the quality of the food. Highly recommended, great sangria, amazing food and nice service. 5+*

Super cozy and nice tent!!! Delicious food and good service!! We'll be back 🥂

Had a nice afternoon! Good food, tasty wines, fantastic price quality

Heerlijke tapas, gezellig kader, vriendelijk personeel. Geen grote porties, maar wel heel lekker! Aanrader! Wij namen met vijf personen twee tapasplanken en enkele losse tapas. Prijs/kwaliteit zeker ok.

Good sangria 👌 recommend only terrace area too small but ok

Very good meal with delicious matching wines. Recommended!

Super nice place with friendly staff who know what they are doing! Spontaneously eating outside on a Sunday evening, no reservation but that was no problem! Highly recommended if you want to have a nice relaxed evening in the city!

Tapas are fantastic, wine and Cava(s) outstanding! Tip: try the fresh churros!

Super cozy place, also nice to sit outside. Staff super friendly

What an incredible top tent. Good service and tasty food! Highly recommended.

Super tasty food! And amazing service from the boy with blonde curls, we will definitely come back

Very nice tent! Spanish atmosphere full of conviviality and delicious wines

Delicious wine and fantastic service, definitely recommended!!

Nice place, great ambiance, and that bartender Hugo has it covered!
